Johannesburg - Calling all South African fans of Gerard Butler and Aaron Eckhart!

Nu Metro announced on Monday that the two Hollywood stars are set to grace our shores to attend an exclusive fan event to mark the release of their new action film Olympus Has Fallen in Johannesburg next month.

Olympus Has Fallen tells of a disgraced former presidential guard (played by Gerard) who finds himself trapped inside the White House in the wake of a terrorist attack. Using his inside knowledge, he works with national security to rescue the President (Aaron) from his kidnappers.

The political action thriller also stars Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett, Dylan McDermott and Melissa Leo.
